Anyone tell me how common is it for
a sow to push her uterus out after giving
birth?, the reason I ask is that my other
fox sow was due to litter and when I checked
on her this afternoon,I found her in a bad way,
I thought she had given birth to deformed babies
and could'nt pass them as they were still attached
to her,rushed her to the vet who saw her immediately
and informed me that she had pushed her uterus out,
like cows sometimes do,she had never seen this before
in a pig,and was going to try and put it back if my sow
became stable,and then operate to remove it,but
I received a call saying she was going downhill fast,
so I made the decision to have her pts,it was the only
option.
On my return from the vet I went to finish feeding
and found that she had given birth to 2 babies,and
as she was in with the other sow who littered last
week,I'm hoping that this sow will feed them.
I do hope so as they quite lovely and I would be
gutted to lose them,but I'm so upset as I wish I
had'nt bred from her,if I had'nt she would still be alive,
so I feel that this is my fault.
